Introduction to Inverse Functions

Inverse functions: graphic representation

Inverse functions: graphic representation

The function graph (red) and its inverse function graph (blue) are reflected about the line $y=x$ (dotted black line). Notice that any ordered pair on the red curve has its reversed ordered pair on the blue line. For example, $(0,1)$ on the red (function) curve is reflected over the line $y=x$ and becomes $(1,0)$ on the blue (inverse function) curve.
